After a goalless draw in the first half, Jonathan Walters broke the deadlock minutes into the second half, before Loic Remy came off the bench to grab an equalizer for Chelsea in stoppage time.

Meanwhile, Everton survived a nervy after beating Norwich 4-3 in spot-kicks at Goodison Park to advance to quarters, while Championship side Hull City overcame Premier League high-fliers Leicester City 5-4
